O'Leary: Locomotive Springs (Stratos Phase 2)

Site: O'Leary: Hansel Valley (Stratos Phase 1)

Site planned for 2031 and has expansions through 2036

Overview

This site is Phase 2 of the Stratos Project (branded as Wonder Valley), Kevin O'Leary's 9 GW off-grid AI data center and natural-gas power campus on ~40,000 acres in western Box Elder County, Utah. Phase 2 represents the ~6 GW expansion beyond the initial Phase 1 Hansel Valley buildout.

Location

Locomotive Springs area, western Box Elder County, Utah
Parcels straddle Locomotive Springs Rd and Old Railroad Grade Rd
Approximately 17 miles WSW of the Phase 1 Hansel Valley site
Includes ~1,200 acres combining a portion of the DoD Utah Test and Training Range and Utah Trust Lands Administration property
Approximate center: 41.7099 N, -112.9228 W (Locomotive Springs reference point)
Adjacent to (but not on) the state-managed Locomotive Springs Wildlife Management Area

Scale and Power

~6 GW additional capacity, all on-site natural gas generation
Brings full Stratos campus total to ~9 GW
100% off-grid
Gas supply via the same Tallgrass Energy / Ruby Pipeline arrangement as Phase 1; a 9 GW gas plant requires ~1.4 to 1.6 Bcf/d, effectively all of Ruby's ~1.5 Bcf/d mainline capacity

Status

Land secured under the MIDA / Box Elder County interlocal agreement (Resolution 26-11, 5/4/2026)
No phase-specific in-service date published
Phase 2 begins after Phase 1 (Hansel Valley) is materially built out
Total 10-year campus buildout timeline from 5/2026 approval implies Phase 2 in-service roughly 2030 to 2036
